We go to press this week at our usual time on Tuesday. This, of course, gives us no special election news and it is not worth while to conjecture. We could not give much satisfactory news without waiting two days, and this we consider not best to do. Next week's Journal will contain a summary of the returns. H. J. Hudson and George Fairchild were tho delegates from here to the grand lodge I. O. O. F. at Lincoln, and report a very pleasant time. The num ber of lodges in Nebraska are 212, and there were 245 delegates present at the grand lodge. The next session, the third Wednesday in October, 98, will be at Omaha. A young man who gave his name as A. Burgee, and his place of residence as south of CoIumbuB, claims he was robbed of thirty-five dollars, which was all the money he had, at the point of a revolver, by two men in a top buggy, about 4 o'clock last Monday afternoon, near the Taft farm just north of the Elkhorn river. Norfolk News. The work has struck other places, as well as here. The Seward Blade has this paragraph: "A carpenter who had been at work in the country came home a few nights ago, and when he started down town the next morning five differ ent men tackled him to do some car penter work for them. Carpenters and everybody else wanting work need not be idle." The Newman Grove Herald says that at Palmer's sale last week, cows went as high as $50; nobody seems to want horses J. J.

Caleb Davis died October 23, and was buried at Schuyler. His affliction was Bright's disease, and he suffered considerably before his death, which was at the age of 75 years. He was a very ardent democrat, and was once honored by a nomination for representative, but was not elected, his party being in the minority in the district at the time. Of late years he and his wife had resided with their son at Creston. We met E. M. Webb, a one time editor of Ulysses, whose mother now lives in David City, at Lincoln last week, where he was expecting his wife from Glasgow, Mo., she having recently had performed the difficult operation of removing her entire right breast. The doctors express hopes of her speedy and permanent recovery. The operation was performed by her brother, Dr. W. G. Freiday, assisted by Drs. Haymaker and Biggs. Ulysses Dispatch. "The boys who stood about the Methodist church door last Sunday evening and amused themselves by piling baby buggies on top of each other, tying the wraps in knots and other meanness in general, would profit themselves far more if they would step inside and listen to the sermon." We find the foregoing in the Albion Argus, and it occurs to remark that there are some things that never should be toler ated in a civilized community, and the disturbance of church or society meet ings of any sort is one of them. We have often thought that church officials and prominent church members are often to blame for a continuance of such conduct, as there is a lawful and pretty effectual way of disposing of hoodlums of this variety. A mistake was made in running the ballots for Platte county's election, for the townships of Walker, Joliet, St Bernard, Granville, Humphrey, Creston and Grand Prairie, by placing the triple - partied candidate for county judge, T. D. Robison, as D. T. Bobison. As the election statute provides against a change of initial letters of a candi date's name, it was concluded best to let the ballots go as they were, seeing that they will be counted for the same man. Some mistake was also made on the ballots for Shell creek, but they were replaced by correct ones. The Telegram had the contract for printing, and it is only just to them to say that the mistake escaped the office proof reader as well as the clerk's office proof reader, and was such as is possible to occur at any time, in many an office in the land. Those who are quick to charge fraud and intentional wrong in such a case, have small conception of the true state of affaire. Behest Bear. The board began the transaction of business at 4:45 Monday, all present Unanimous consent of the board was given, on the application of Ed. Nie wohner, that his daughter be excused from the study of Latin, not however, without considerable discussion of the matter, as to the different phaaea of the subject the rights of parents, the effect on the schools, etc W. M. Finegan, Maud Parker and Elisabeth Eaton at the last meeting made application for positions aa teach ers, when any should become vacant and that of George F. Rose of Clarke was placed on file, at this meeting. The superintendent's report for Octo ber showed the number of pupils en rolled 680, the number in average daily attendance, 616.8. The half holiday was earned by Mr. Britell's room, on an average attendance of 97.76 per cent and an average punctuality of 9959 per cent The superintendent reported that he had turned into the treasury for tuition collected $43; and for text books, $26.36. There was some discussion as to the pay for last year's tuition by some of the pupils from other districts, attend ing here under a state statute supposed to authorize payment for tuition by the district from which they are aent. As this had been declared unconstitutional, it was the sentiment of the board that the superintendent be directed to make out bills to parents for last year's tuition still due. Then came up the matter of allowing Mr. Leavy leave of absence from his school on election day. He had not made formal application, except orally to some members of the board, who bad separately and individually indicated their willingness, provided he makes proper arrangements to have the school conducted properly in his absence. There waa quite an amount of talk in regard to the matter, the upshot being that Mr. Leavy and Mr. Williams were both granted leave of absence on elec tion day, provided they furnished sub stitutes. A warrant for $70 was ordered drawn to make last payment due for cyclope dias bought a year ago. The following transfers were ordered: $1000 to teachers' fund and $300 to gen eral fund. The following bills were allowed and warrants ordered drawn for their pay ment: R. Gisin $2215 Stillman Pharmacy 150 A. Brodfuehrer 4 75 C. E. Pollock A Co 110 John Eusden 2145 W. J.

Bekjono Sunday morning, Oct. 31, at 9 o'clock, of lung trouble, John Ben ning, in the 71st year of his age. Mr. Benning was born in Oldenburg. His children Mrs. Gusta Lobens, Mrs. Frederick Schreiber, Mrs. Carline Sten ger and Qua Benning were born in the old country, Lizzie and William, the youngest born here. Mr. Benning came here in 1867, taking up his homestead. He started in a sod house, had a yoke of oxen, went a mile for water several of the settlers using the same well, which were pretty expensive in that neighbor hood in those days. Mr. Benning was a quiet, unobtrusive man, industrious, faithful to all his obligations, kind hearted and just. He prospered stead ily and surely, and his family with him. Though not sick long, he suffered con siderably. The funeral was held Tues day, the remains being laid to rest in the cemetery of the Lutheran chnrch near Shell creek, Rev. Miller officiating. He leaves his widow and the children mentioned, with all his acquaintance to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted husband and father, and a good citizen. There are other places besides Co lumbus where the stock-feeding indus try is receiving considerable attention. Grand Island, Schuyler, Ames, David City, as well as at many other places hundreds of cattle and thousands of sheep are eating Nebraska corn, oats, bran and hay and getting ready to be converted into beef, mutton, etc., etc. The Norfolk Journal of Friday aays: A train of sheep, numbering 5,080 head, arrived this morning over the Union Pacific for Nolan & Co., and were driven out Fourth street to the company's feeding yards south of the Junction. The immense flock attracted considera ble attention as it passed along, many observers having never before seen so large a moving mass of wool and mut ton, and it was a good object lesson on the benefits of the republican policy in regard to the sheep industry. The ani mals were shipped from The Dalles, Oregon, and came through in excellent condition. We are informed that George N. Hopkins is making a vigorous campaign for the postmastership of Platte Center. Mr. Hopkins is a good citizen, a long time republican, an old soldier, a kindly dispositioned and accommodating man, and we have no doubt would make a first-class postmaster. He has a host of acquaintances and friends who would like to see him succeed. The Journal many years ago, advocated the election of postmasters, as of other federal offices now appointive, and has seen no good reason to change our view of that way of selecting those who handle the mail. The people themselves are certainly aa capable of self-government in this re gard as in any other, and surely they would be as wise in their selections as professional politicians are in their choosings. Ballard's Horehound Syrup Is the best known remedy for consumption, coughs, colds and all throat and chest troubles. Every bottle Is guaranteed. It Is the best remedy for children. 26 and 50c Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock A Co. The March of Cllaute. A large field for study is presented in the march of our earth's atmosphere. The temperature of a place is due to the temperature of the atmosphere at the place. It is given that with no gaseous envelope surrounding our globe the tem perature of the soil at the earth's equator would be 328 degrees below zero, Fab. This is the temperature of inter-plan etary apace. The temperature of inter stellar apace is given at 460 degrees be low, and the absolute zero at 493 below. This last is the point at which the perma nent gases condense, and cease to be reaching a void. The molecules of matter resolve into etheric atoms, under great heat or cold. Our atmosphere not only absorbs heat but preserves an equable amount But at times the volume of atmosphere de creases, then again increases. With a decrease, the temperature of the globe would become leas, and with an increaso in the amount, our earth's temperature would be greater. Our globe has its seasons, and also its great seasons, that is, a great summer, and a glacial winter. Our globe not only has its day and night, but its great day and great night. Our sun thus is one of the variable stars. Our ocean level moves as does our at mosphere, and has its seasons. The va por of water observes the laws of other gases. It is now ocean summer in the southern hemisphere, it being the water hemisphere of the earth. At times the amount of ocean on the earth's surface is greater than at present. Then agaiu it is less. England has at times been connected with the continent, and dry land has extended to Iceland and Greenland. There is a vast plain reaching to near the ocean's surface, extending north and south the length of the Atlantic ocean, near its center. With a low ocean level this might become land, and the fabled Lost Atlantis which disappeared. Such increases and decreases can be produced by the meteoric paths which affect our globe and sun very much. The meteoric paths are the influence in the production of what is known as the sun's corona points. These often stream out from the sun 100,000 miles. We may judge of seasonal differences by observing the movements of the air. When our springs are cool; our Julys are apt to be wet. The harvest weather for 1897 was wet over a large area. Parts of New England, Wisconsin and Florida had near twenty inches of rainfall for July. It is common at these periods for seafaring men in the southern ocean to lower their boats and fill the empty wa ter casks with fresh water dipped from the surface of the open sea. We may say the general character of the succeeding months is reflected in the preceding months. We ueed to know the language to read it. E. J. Coucn. Woman' Club. Tho general meeting of the Woman's club will be held at the residence of C. H. Sheldon Saturday afternoon, Nov. 6, commencing promptly at 3 o'clock. Roll call Mention some interesting fact concerning the Klondike. Music. Reports of delegates to the state con vention Mrs. Brugger and Mrs. Brind ley. Music. Reading Miss Luth. The president urges that club mem bers be present as there is important business to transact. The human race is sympathetic, and it most certainly is possessed of a won derful amount of curiosity. There's an instance which proves both these prop ositions. One day last week Hugh Hughes saw that the boy of a customer, who had come after a load of brick, was having Bomo trouble with a headstrong horse, and he went to tho horse's head, caught hold of the bridle, without antic ipating anything ugly on the part of the animal, bnt he didn't want it that way and began to strike and fight, so that Hugh has still some of the traces of the affair on his face. He had no sooner ex plained the particulars to us, taking about five minutes of his valuable time, than another man cauio into tho office, and wanted to know what in the world had happened him. We are sure wo do Mr. Hughes a kindness by making this one telling, answer all inquiries. The November issue of tho Art In terchange is exceptionally interesting both in pictures and text, and is abun dantly supplied with supplements In color and black and white.

One boy was completely buried and the other three partially so. A son of Schmid'e, Emil, had a leg broken in two places by the cave-in, which Dr. Sixta set later. When help arrived later the boy who was entirely covered was dug out and he was nearly gone, being black in tho face. It was rather a serious accident and will serve as a warning to the boys in general as to such places. To Chicago aad the East. Passengers going east for business, will naturally gravitate to Chicago as the great commercial center. Passengers re-visiting friends or relatives in the eastern states always desire to "take in" Chicago en route. All classes of passen gers will find that the "Short Line" of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Rail way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs, affords excellent facilities to reach their destinations in a manner that will be sure to give the utmost satisfaction. A reference to the time tables will in dicate the route to be chosen, and, by asking any principal agent west of the Missouri river for a ticket over the Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, yon will be cheerfully furnished with the proper passport via Omaha and Chicago. Please note that all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in Chicago in ample time to connect with the express trains of all the great through car lines to the principal eastern cities.

Reuben was a free- trade democrat, and, when Cleveland was turned down and McKinley was elected, he thought the country was going to ruin; so he fled to Europe to avoid the wreck. Reuben was a sad man when he walked mournfully down the gangplank of an English liner. "Well, they did it, Eli," he said, sadly, as I clasped his honest hand. "Did what, Reuben?" I aBked. "Why, they 'lected McKinley, and went and built that Chinese wall and shut us off from the markets of the world, didn't they?" "Yes, they did, Renben," I said. "Poor England has been shut off, and unhappy Bradford isn't sending any more cloth to us now. Sheffield has about stopped sending cutlery, Notting ham's lace factories have quit sending us laces and grass is growing in the Welsh tin factories. The wall did it, Reuben." "And our poor country is naked and suffering," mourned Reuben, "and Clove land's 8260,000,000 deficit is increasing and no gold is coming in, and we're still borrowing what gold we get from Eng land at 4 per cent, just as poor Cleve land did." Then Reuben had a chill. "No, Reuben," I said, "the Tariff wall didn't stop gold. That came in freo and they've sent us $150,000,000 in gold and the treasury is clogged with it." "What did they send tho gold for, Eli?" "Why, to buy iron, and pork, and wheat, and cotton." "But with the wall up and the mar kets of the world closed whero do we get our cloth, pottery and tin from now?" "Wo have gone to making them again ourselves, Reuben. The old dead facto ries are starting up. We are sending iron to Scotland and tin to all Europe, and wages aro going up and times are lxoming, and we are selling more corn and cotton now than ever, and this Chi nese wall keeps us from buying things when we can make them at home, and that wall keeps all the wages here." "But you don't say that with the wall up wo are getting enough revenue to run the government?" "Well, not quite enough, Reuben; but when Cleveland broke down that wall they piled in a lot of stuff free. We are using that up now, you know. But when it is gone, our last dead mill will Btart; tho boys will have money to burn and the rich people will haul enough luxuries over the wall to make Cleve land's deficit revenue into a surplus. With tho Tariff doubled we won't have to ship only one-half as much stuff as we did before." "And McKinley's wall didn't kill our markets, Eli?" "No." "And we won't have to call in the greenbacks to stop the 'endless chain' business?" "Why no!" "And McKinley didn't wipe out a republic and put Graver's black Queen on the throne in Hawaii?" "Why no!" "And prosperity has surely come back?" "Certainly it has." Then Reuben sat down on a bale of Georgia cotton marked Manchester, put his elbows on his knees, pressed both hands on bis forehead, and said to him self: "By gum!" Eli Perkins. FOR WORKING PEOPLE. The Rev. John Adams, New Milford, 111., says: "Postal savings banks, in my opinion, would be a particularly good thing for the country places. Take my own town, for instance New Milford. We are six miles from Rockford, where there are savings banks, but our work ing people cannot afford to take the time to go there, and consequently have no other place than an old stocking or the chimney to put their little savings. When these people are saving any money it is particularly necessary that they should have a perfectly safe depository and this would be afforded by the gov ernment postal savings banks."
